Seven Reasons ANYONE Can Afford

The Health Care They Need

 

 Why doesn’t everyone drive a luxury car and live in a million dollar house?

It’s simply because they haven’t found a way to afford it--so they settle for less. But you or your friends don’t have to settle for less than the best when it comes to your health care and your health (and the health of the people you care most about). Would you want to settle for less? Why should you?

Everyone knows you pay more for getting the very best. You always pay more for quality. Just as a million dollar home or a luxury car is expensive, our products are definitely expensive. But here’s the bottom line—the most expensive product in the world is the one you really need but don’t get.

The fact is that if you KNOW that you really need something, and you really want it, don’t you always find a way to afford it? Of course you do!

So just how important is your health? On a scale from one to ten, ten being the highest, how highly do you value YOUR health—what number comes to your mind? I hope you gave yourself a ten, because that is what you deserve.

If you did not give yourself a ten, maybe you should visit a hospital or a cemetery to get a fresh perspective on the value of your health!

I say that the truth is that you really can afford the finest health care in the world, including the essential and critical life enriching nutrients that you really need. Think about it—can you really afford to NOT have them?

Here are SEVEN REASONS why YOU can absolutely afford to be healthy, and so can all the people you care about:

1.    Being healthy is affordable when you realize what is at stake

2.    Being healthy is affordable when you realize what your health is worth

3.    It is affordable when you realize the other options are MORE expensive

4.    It is affordable when you realize you can reallocate wasted money

5.    It is affordable when you realize the Government will subsidize the cost

6.    It is affordable when you adjust your medical insurance deductible

7.    It is affordable when you realize you can get your products for “FREE” by helping others get theirs for “FREE” (zero net cost)

REASON #1

REALIZE WHAT'S AT STAKE

Imagine someone holding your head under the water. In less than a minute, you forget about being nice, and do whatever it takes to get some oxygen, right? Why? Because you know that your life depends on it!

If you truly value your health, why not do whatever it takes to make sure you either get it back or maintain it, even if that means doing whatever it takes to afford the critical nutrients you need for your better health.

The famous Dr. Ray Goen, a vibrant 90 year old retired Medical Doctor, stated publicly, that Glyconutrients were so vital to his health, that if he had to sell his house to afford them, he would do it without hesitation!

Too much is at stake for you to do nothing. In the long run, doing nothing will cost you FAR more than taking care of your health now.

When you lose your health, don’t you think that you’ve lost more than you can really afford to lose?

If your car is totaled, you can just get another one—but if your body is totaled, then what?

Of course no supplement can guarantee you perfect health; but considering what is at stake, isn’t it worth doing whatever it takes to live a healthy lifestyle, which includes getting all the essential and critical nutrients your body needs?

It is just like you KNOW that you would never let your children or parents die by starvation—you would do whatever it takes to make sure they were taken care of, right?

REASON #2

IS YOUR HEALTH WORTH $4-6 A DAY?

 Do you spend money to insure THINGS?

 Many people are already spending $4-$6 a day to insure their car and/or their house, which are replaceable. Don’t you think that investing $4-6 a day into your personal health is maybe even a tad bit more important?

 Where are you going to live when your body wears out?

 In a modern society where…

·           50% of people are already pre-diabetic

·           50% of people die from heart disease and strokes

·           80% of 5-8 year olds have one risk factor for heart disease

·        50% of the time the first indication of a heart problem is a FATAL heart attack

·        38% of all females (adults and children) get cancer

·        50% of all males (adults and children) get cancer

·        65% of Adult Americans are overweight; 30% are obese

·        For 90% of the term of cancer it can be undetectable, for up to 30 years

·        90% of all people die prematurely from some degenerative disease

·        One Million people per year die BECAUSE of the Medical System, making it the #1 cause of death, putting it ahead of heart disease and cancer as causes of death (for all the statistics, read this shocking article at www.mercola.com/2003/nov/26/death_by_medicine.htm)

·        16 Million people per year are injured BECAUSE of the Medical System

…don’t you think it would be wise to do something more than most people are doing?

Isn’t it true that if you do what most people do (97%), you get what most people get?

How do you feel about those odds?

ARE YOU PART OF THE TOP 3%?

According to surveys of 154,000 adults by the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, ONLY 3% OF Americans are practicing just four basic components of a healthy lifestyle: not smoking, eating five or more fruits and vegetables daily, exercising at least 30 minutes a day five times a week, and live at a healthy weight (at or under 25 BMI—Body Mass Index).

“I was quite surprised to see that only 3 percent of the U.S. population is abiding by these simple guidelines. I know I am following them. However, the vast majority of those in this country are exchanging convenience for their health -- and paying a huge price in losing their health.”

Dr. Joseph Mercola

IS YOUR COVERAGE COMPLETE?

Would you settle for car insurance if it only covered you every other day?

Wouldn’t you INSIST on COMPLETE coverage?

Think about it—the medical insurance you have is not complete either. Even though it is commonly called “Health Insurance”, that is obviously deceptive—how does it actually insure or protect your health, any more than Life Insurance insures that you live or protects your life?

Medical Insurance merely gives you a partial reimbursement of medical costs—it merely protects you from having to bear the burden of all of the cost of medical procedures, but does it protect you from disease? Of course not.

In contrast, true health insurance is a healthy lifestyle—this offers some actual protection unlike medical insurance. For health insurance (lifestyle) to be complete, and actually protect and maintain your health, it must include providing all the essential nutrients your body needs. Just like your body needs oxygen, it needs other critical nutrients as well, including Glyconutrients.

Isn’t complete “coverage” having both health and medical insurance? I choose to have both—what do you think is best for you?

I believe that I get far more value from true health insurance for far less money than I do from medical insurance, which I hope I will never use!

FULL DISCLOSURE—THE COST OF BEING SICK

In the book The Cost of Being Sick, it is predicted that medical insurance costs will become the “new mortgage”, predicted to exceed $1000 a month. Are you ready for that?

As part of choosing a healthy lifestyle, why not invest a few dollars each day into your personal “health insurance” by including the Premium Wellness Gold Plan, which costs you only $5.82 a day? Aren't you worth at least that much? Isn't the health of the people you most care about worth that much? 

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?

 Have you heard the old adage, that “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.”?

 This is true also of your health, just as it is in every other area of your life.

REASON #3

EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO WHAT?

Compared to a visit to the doctor or hospital, getting the essential nutrients your body needs is actually very inexpensive.

According to the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health,

“90% of health problems can be dealt with at home, bypassing the cost of a visit to the doctor.”

Compared to the cost of missing a day of work, or a day in the hospital, or a funeral, paying a few dollars every day to get the essential nutrients the Optimal Health Plan (OHP) provides, is very inexpensive.

Compared to a buying drugs (that are toxic and don't even address the real problem but only manage or cover up symptoms), the OHP is very inexpensive (and a lot safer). Here are some actual prices for drugs: Celebrex (100 mg) costs $130; Claritin (10 mg): $215; Lipitor (20 mg): $272; Prozac (20 mg): $247; Zithromax (600 mg): $1,482; Zocor (40 mg): $350; Zoloft (50 mg): $206. The average cost is $13.81 per day. Now that is expensive!

Compared to cheaper health food store products that give you between zero and a fraction of the results, the OHP is very inexpensive.

Don’t you always pay a lot more for quality? A luxury car is more expensive than a cheap car, but don’t you get greater value? Besides, why put cheap stuff in a quality body (your body)? Is that a smart thing to do?

Would you build a new house with the cheapest materials you could buy? Don't you DESERVE the highest quality for your temple? Wouldn't you want your children or parents to have the best quality? So why not you?

What if improving your health with a healthy lifestyle (proper eating habits, exercise, excellent nutrition, etc.) increased your life span by just one year? What would that be worth to you? Isn’t that one year’s income? What if you lived an extra 10-20 good healthy years? What would that be worth?

 Getting your car brakes fixed may seem expensive too, but compared to what? NOT getting them fixed could cost you your very life.

 Rather than thinking in terms of buying supplements, think of it this way—what you are really buying is health and longevity, for pennies on the dollar!

THE HIDDEN COST OF NOT PLANNING AHEAD

According to Nicholas Web, in his alarming book, The Cost of being Sick, investing $100 a month from ages 45-65 toward prevention will cost you $24,000. He then sites a shocking study by Fidelity Investments, that revealed that a couple retiring TODAY, at age 65, needs approximately $160,000 in savings to cover medical expenses during retirement!

However, in 20 years from now, with medical costs rising from 7-15% per year, that $160,000 obligation will become a $500,000 to $2,225,000 obligation. So a $100 a month toward prevention is just as important as any 401-K contribution. Wouldn’t you agree that spending $24,000 to avoid $500,000 to 2 Million in potential medical costs makes good financial sense?

So according to The Cost of Being Sick, you could either put aside $1500 a month for 20 years to have the minimum funds needed ($500,000) by age 65, or spend $100 to $150 a month on prevention (real health insurance). And as a bonus, you can expect to enjoy greater vitality and a better quality of life.

This is buying your future health for pennies on the dollar. This is PLANNING. This is being smart. Remember, “he who fails to plan, plans to fail.”

So if true “health insurance” SEEMS to be expensive, ask yourself this critical question: “expensive compared to what?”

So the THIRD reason I say you can afford what you need is this: when you ask the intelligent question, “expensive compared to what?”, you realize the other options, including doing nothing, will cost you far more in the long run.

REASON #4

YOU CAN EASILY REALLOCATE WASTED MONEY

 By shifting some or all of your dollars to buying healthier foods, you can save enough money to pay for the essential nutrients (e.g. OHP) your body needs.

 The University of California Berkeley Wellness Newsletter reported on a study that found that families SAVED money by switching to buying natural unprocessed food. And after a year, they were spending much less than they did before the study began—and were healthier! What if that worked for you?

 In fact, 90% of the food people buy is processed, which is usually 200-500% more expensive than unprocessed foods. Why pay more for less value?

DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS OF PROCESSED FOODS

v     Processed foods are extremely STRESSFUL on your organs (in fact, 75% of all processed foods are genetically modified (AKA "Frankenfoods") 

v     Processed foods are FATTENING (a set up for diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, etc.; plus excess fat does not look good on you!)

v     Processed foods are EXPENSIVE (usually double or triple the cost per pound compared to healthy whole foods—you pay more for less value)

Sure it may be difficult at first to eliminate or reduce processed items because you are used to them and you like the taste—but when you realize that your health and life are at stake, what is there to really think about?

Anything that has been processed is a health rip-off. E.g. “The whiter the bread, the faster you are dead.”  (Clue—avoid most white food!)

If you’re truly committed to your health, why not take money you’ve been spending on STUFF that HURTS you and buy FOOD that HELPS you? Then use the money saved to buy the essential nutrients that you need and deserve.

If you took only half of your food budget money (why go just half way?) and spent it on unprocessed foods, you could probably save over $40 a week which you could then spend on your edible health insurance (the OHP). Many people blow $40 each week on just drinks and snacks. Start by reducing or just plain eliminate the fake “foods” that are especially HARMFUL, such as sodas, chips, French Fries, candy, pastries, snacks and most flour or grain based items including breakfast cereals. Plus, you will feel and look better too!

WHY SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN THE BEST?

Which is going to make the decision for you: your taste buds or your brain?

Why pay good money for stuff that is killing you slowly? Suicide, whether it is sudden and deliberate, or slow and accidental, is the same thing.   It’s just that one way seems to be socially acceptable.

So the FOURTH reason I say you can afford what you need is because you can easily REALLOCATE money you are already spending on snacks, processed and junk foods (75% are “Frankenfoods” (as in “Frankenstein”)—genetically modified!) and beverages, and use it to pay fo
